Matthews was man of unusual qualiica-
tons or if there were any circumstances
pressing his appointment the act OF the
President would have some shadow Of ex-
cuse. But why a man who never rose
above a trading disreputable pollti'
clan in Albany. N. Y, should be reward
ed with a lucrative office in Washington
is something plain people can not under
stand. That dem ocratic senators agree In
this opinion is shown by their refusal to
oblige Mr.. Cleveland and confirm his pet
nominee.

General Sheridan has proposed a strik.
ing and ingenious plan of harbor defence
based upon his experience in fighting In.
dams years ago. He found sunken pits
held by riAemen better than forts. which
formed clearly visible mark for the ene-
my. He therefore proposes a series of
submerged pits in the sea with guns that
can be raised or lowered at pleasure, new
er rising above the surface of the water
so far as to afford good mark for an ad.
vancing fleet. Such works would be bet
ter defended against hostile fire bv the
surrounding water itself than any visible
fort can be by steel or other casing.
The first month of the new year is mark.
ed by serious struggle between employ.
err and employee. Such strike as that
of the coal handlers would be a grave
event at any time. but coming at this sea-
son of the year when fuel is such prime
necessity it has an added weight. 1t has
assumed formidable proportions, also,
having involved. either through necessity
or sympathy, workers in many different
branches of labor. The running of ocean
steamers has been stopped, factories and
mines have been compelled to close oper-
atoms, and suffering through lack OF fuel
has been brought to many homes. What
the end of the struggle will be no one can
foretell. but with $4,000 workingmen idle
some solution, from the mere necessities
of the case. can not be long delayed.
Mr.. Cleveland is said to be indignant
because the Senate has rejected a second
time the nomination of Matthews to be
recorder of deeds. To an unprecedented
mind it looks as if the resentment ought
to be wholly on the other side, SAYS the
Philadelphia Press. The appointment of
this man Matthews was sent into the Sem
ate last session and after a patient inves
tigation into the merits of the case it was
rejected. In repeating the appointment
the President virtually said to the Senate
that it did not know its own mind. If

now 44,70S. 027.44, the average amount
being 1922 %. Since 1861 the sum of

THE STRIKES.

There was no justice in the idea of a
strike of all coal-handlers because the
employees Of one company were dissatis-
fed, and the result of acting on false
principle will, of course, be disastrous to
those who do it. The Knights of Labor
have been trying to combine all the
workingmen Of the country so as to act
i'll concert against any one point effect
ing this by unifying all trades under one
control, and that central personal au-
thority.
The revolt against this monstrosity is
being already felt in the New York strikes
and the non-union element is being
strengthened every day, and then apart
from the issue between the employers
and the workmen, comes the one between
the strikers and the new men, who want
to take their places, which they have a
right to do without let or hindrance.
1t is impossible to .hink that the
Knights of Labor who incite these things
can possess any patriotic or humane
views, for there is no explanation upon a
theory Of good motives, of the gigantic
conception of a secret order with princi-
pies directly opposed to all ideas of
free government to the degree Of
starving thousands Of people in order
to enforce an arbitrary demand If
could decide it there
could not occur much combinations
where the grievance is so disproporti- I.
nate to the harm, and we conclude that /
there is an infusion of passion from the .
leaders to inlame mems minds with /
wrongs to make the working
men think that the wealth that which
other people got by honest and patient
work should belong to the less fortunate
who did not know how to use their
opportunities 50 well.

MULTIPLICATION.

1t cannot be denied that the grave con-
sequences of placing this State and its
people in opposition to the Federal au-
thority is reacting rapidly on the mana
gers Of the Democratic party, and that
the cry of States rights and corrupt Fed
eral Judges will not much longer cover
the fallacy of multiplying the laws of the
United States. We say laws, because the
decisions of the Supreme Court are the
same thing.
Judge Bond, at Baltimore, yesterday
released the prisoner Sherwood, sample
merchant arrested by the Virginia author
tiles for carrying on his business after he
had rendered coupons for the license and
they had been refused. The United
States law is that the coupons were a
valid payment for the license, and that
the man had a right to carry on his bust
ness when a fair tender had been
made and the license refused.
New, when Sherwood comes back
and proceeds with his business, the
question is will he be arrested again, for
the nut of the contest lies in that. We
cite the case of Sherwood only though
there was another, Fitzgerald, in the same
predicament who was also discharged.
If these two men now go on with their
business, if there is any pretense of integ-
rity in the position of the State authori-
ties, they will be again arrested and will
again appeal to the United States Court.
Without knowing the law in such case,
we suppose, Of course, that the officer
making the arrest will be pun
ished severely for contempt Of court, and
that if still the doctrine of the State SOW
ereignty as opposed to the Federal au-
thority has anything in it, certainly the
officer will not to be allowed to go to
Albany penitentiary without a struggle
So here we have it at last
Twenty years after the Appomattox
surrender we are brought face to face with
the issue between the State and the Fed
eral government.
All this will be farce that outsiders
may laugh at, but what a melancholy act
it is in the long drama performed d ring
these twenty years past whose varying
scenes should close with a tablesu of
peace, a reunited country, and the cpl
logue only the happy augury of a glorious
future.

The Lynchburg Adoance thinks that Mr..
Royal ought, as a Virginian, to be con-
tent to seek redress from the courts of
his own State. May we respectfully sug
gest to our contemporary to look at the
other side of the question. Leave Royal
and the bondholders entirely out of the
case and there is still an issue as to
whether a citizen can exercise right
which he has under the ruling of the
United States Supreme Court.
Whether that citizen is popular or not
or in accord with the views of the leaders
of the Democratic party are questions
secondary to the one of privilege under
the Federal laws.
